Die on the Chick-Fil-A Hill?

There's no way anyone with a brain believes they are equal based on history. One of the dumbest takes ever on this forum

It doesn't justify the brutal assault in any way but they aren't anywhere close to equal

Your mindset is what’s dumb. Both are racial slurs. No more, no less. Ni**** is no worse than slurs aimed at Asians, Jews, whites, you name it. None should be used.

People with a brain. The word cracker was never associated with true evil in this country like the n word was

Again it’s still used by people as a slur against whites. The intent is still the same. Just because you think one is worse than the other doesn’t change that.

The history of the word shows there is a difference. The only people dumb enough to argue otherwise are white.

No the intent of those words has never been equal. One was used as justification to enslave, subjugate and dehumanize a single race.

Then why do black people call white people crackers? Is it a compliment?

All racial slurs are the same. There’s history behind the slurs towards Jews, but that history is somehow less? That’s stupid. The meaning and intent behind all are the same, including calling whites crackers. Not my fault you are too fragile and mentally weak/defeated by a word to grasp that concept.

It's an insult but we all recognize that some insults are simply worse than others

There was a time when being called a "Jew" was a death sentence. Same goes for "Christian"..."Non-Christian"..."Catholic"..."Protestant"..."Infidel"...et al.

So I guess I'm dumb, and I just checked...I'm definitely white. Guess I need to brush up my history. Apparently it's as dumb and white as I am.

Understanding history is now being too fragile and mentally weak? Well that definitely explains the current political climate

Agreed. But if you or I can't say it, then no one can. Wrong is wrong, regardless of demographics, hmm?

None of those has ever been a death sentence in the US

You’re the only one arguing that. I said the intent is the same. Next topic.

Wrong. Many posts above say they are on the same level

You're moving the goal posts.

Troll game strong here. Only black people have been oppressed and persecuted in America.

do you feel like you're missing out by not using the word?

 

[hog88]

Are you actually making the argument that cracker is equivalent to n***er? If so, no need to dance around it

Saying either shouldn't result in being attacked.

 

[utvolpj]

Not at all since the discussion is around the use in America. You simply introduced reasoning that was not relevant to the discussion

 

[GreyWolf1129]

So...it's only racism if it happens in the U.S.?

 

[Obsessed]

PJ’s white guilt is hitting him hard today.

 

[Obsessed]

Ni***r is so offensive and oppressive it’s said daily among that community to each other.

 

[zeppelin128]

This is a strange thread.

 

[NashVol11]

Gotta say I underestimated how many people on this board would make the “cracker = n***er” argument with a straight face. At least it’s out in the open now

 

[NEO]

You weren’t oppressed by the group using it, which is why no one cares

So the Irish have never been oppressed in America?

All this argument needed was “there were white slaves who weren’t actually slaves too!!” Have at it.
